"Run! Run, now!!"
"Arghhh! Don't leave me behind, please!!"
"They're everywhere!!"
"Arggh – No, no!"
Drew shut his eyes and desperately tried to shut out the cries coming from the squad behind him. He urged the horse he was riding to move faster and it picked up its speed.
"We have to go back for them!!" Petra shouted from the lizard beside him. She was being carried by a burly man – Mark - who managed to hold onto her with one hand and ride the horse with the other.
"There's no hope for them now!" Drew shouted over the sounds of screaming and tearing of skin, "We can't let their sacrifice be in vain!"
"So we just let them die!"
"Yes!!"
"!!"
Petra's eyes widened and she stared at Drew with a horrified expression. Drew hadn't meant to say what he had, but it had just come out like that. He had never seen something like this before.
